The Flex Lane on I-84 would be installed between Exits 3 and 7 in Danbury. This stretch of interstate, approximately four miles long, has been identified as a high-congestion area. The Flex Lane would be constructed within the existing right of way on the median shoulder.

A better commute, sooner.

Through State Project No. 0034-0364, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is proposing to install a Flex Lane along I-84 in Danbury between Exits 3 and 7 as one of the independent projects from the I-84 Danbury Study. The shoulder on the median side would be repurposed into a temporary travel lane during the busiest times to maintain traffic flow and keep travelers moving. The project also includes the addition of a travel lane on Route 7 in the southbound direction approaching the I-84 westbound merge at Exit 7.

By making better use of the existing I-84 footprint, the Flex Lane would create a more reliable and efficient experience for everyone.
